I was out at Sherman a couple of weeks ago, and had backed my pick-up truck into one of the Rock Star parking spots. I came in after several hours of kiting, put down the tail gate and laid back on my equipment for a snooze as the sun kept me warm. Parked next to me were two kiters also with a vehicle also backed up in the spot drinking Buds and keeping up a constant patter that lulled me to sleep. I woke up, not sure how long I was out, but these guys were still talking and drinking. I have no idea how many beers they consumed, but at some point they got up, rigged up and went out kiting.

I overheard them talk about them being sponsored, and it was then that I realized why I was not a pro.
